1 Esdras 8:89-91

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸⁹ Then Shecaniah son of Jehiel, one of the men of Israel, called out and said to Ezra, “We have sinned against the Lord and have married foreign women from the nations of the land, but even now there is hope for Israel. ⁹⁰ Let us take an oath to the Lord about this, that we will put away all our foreign wives with their children, as seems good to you and to all who obey the law of the Lord. ⁹¹ Rise up^[a] and take action, for it is your task, and we are with you to take strong measures.”
